The explorer program is for ages 14-18. With parental consent, these kids are allowed to participate in department meetings, trainings, emergency calls, and events to get a feel of the fire service to see if it is something they wish to continue being a part of when older. Explorers are allowed to leave the program at any time after joining if they feel this is not for them.
